CodyFarmer Posted April 4, 2015 at 02:19 AM Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 at 02:19 AM Hi all, In working through the grammar from Allsetlearning, I have struggled a bit with incorporating guo4 with verb-object constructs. For instance, is my placement of 过 correct here? 这个地方从来没有下过雪。 Thank you in advance for any help! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelina Posted April 4, 2015 at 03:38 AM Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 at 03:38 AM 这个地方从来没有下过雪。 It is correct. Also 我去过北京。 Aspect markers are always put immediately after the verb because there is a very strong connection between the verb and the aspect marker. They are not suffixes like those found in English verbs (e.g. -ing), but endings (形尾), nevertheless, the connection is still strong enough. This can actually help you distinguish between the aspect 了 and the mood 了. 1. 我吃了饭。 了 is used to mark aspect 2. 我吃饭了。 了 is used to mark mood. If the marker consists of two syllables, like the inchoative 起来, the object is put between these two syllables. 唱起歌来。 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
